Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In the heart of Greenville, SC, our school stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity for a diverse group of young scholars.

In today’s digital era, the way we consume sports and athletic achievements has evolved dramatically.

Digital media has become the forefront of how stories are told, achievements are celebrated, and talents are showcased. Unfortunately, our department currently lacks the modern equipment necessary to properly capture and share the incredible journeys of our athletes. This gap not only hinders our ability to promote our programs but also limits our scholars' exposure to essential digital media skills.

In the pursuit of propelling our Athletic Department at our school into the future, we aim to equip our scholars and department with the Sony A7 III camera. This tool is not just a camera; it's a gateway to professional-grade digital media production, designed to bring our athletic achievements and stories to life with stunning clarity and detail.

Integrating the Sony A7 III into our Athletic Department means providing our scholars with a tool that matches their ambition and spirit. It’s not just about capturing moments; it’s about empowering our students with the technology to tell their stories, develop valuable skills, and open doors to future opportunities. Your support will not only enhance the visibility of our athletic achievements but also invest in our scholars' growth and success in the digital landscape.

Thank you for considering our project. Together, we can build a legacy of excellence, innovation, and community at our school.
